I tried reading it. It's one of those books that's an advanced read and it's exhausting to read it. Only got a few chapters in said that that I'd wait for the movie as the number of characters was getting overwhelming.

Yes, it did take a while to straighten out, but it's well worth the endurance. I read the series in highschool.

If you haven't read or seen the other versions I would wait for the upcoming 2 movies. If you're keen to learn the lore, then the Sci-Fi channel series are worth watching for much more detail than the 1984 which is also more than an excellent short summary.
